Blackstar Amplification AMPED 3 Manual Del Propietário página 7

 20W - This setting reduces the output power to a maximum of 20 Watts. Use
for smaller gigs, when rehearsing, or when a more power amp overdriven tone is
desired at a lower level.
 1W - This is the lowest power setting and reduces the output power down to
1 Watt. Perfect for practising, recording or when a power amp overdriven tone is
desired at low volume.
Power level is a global setting and is not saved when storing a patch.
17. Recall Indicator
The Recall Indicator shows if there is a mismatch between the current value of a
parameter within the amplifier and the corresponding physical front panel control.
For example, when you load a patch the controls on the front panel may not always
reflect the sound you are hearing.
To prevent unexpected level jumps in the control you are adjusting, the front panel
knobs will have no effect on the sound until the knob reaches the current parameter
value. Once reached, the Recall Indicator will flash once, the knob will 'take control'
of the value and it will then increase or decrease the value.
The Recall Indicator will flash once each time the physical knob 'passes through'
the value stored in the current patch. Recall is active for Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble,
ISF, Boost Level, Channel Volume, Presence and Reverb.

18. Mains Input
The supplied detachable IEC mains cable is connected here. Dept. 10 AMPED
products use a universal input power supply. This means that the mains input
range is rated at 100Vac to 240Vac and capable of operating at 50Hz and 60Hz.
NOTE: The mains input can only be connected to a power outlet that is compatible
with the voltage, power and frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. If in
doubt, seek advice from a qualified technician
19. Power Switch
This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off.
20. In
Plug your guitar into this input. Always use a good quality screened instrument
lead.
21. FX Loop Send
Connect to the (mono) input of external effects units here. The Effects Loop Send
is taken before the Presence (16) and Master (18) controls.
The default for the Effects Loop is for it to be placed before the onboard Reverb in
12
the signal chain. This setting can be changed using Blackstar's Architect software
and saved to the amp.
22. FX Loop Return
Connect to the (mono) output of external effects units here.
As default, the Effects Loop is a series setup. The Effects Loop can be set to run
in parallel using Blackstar's Architect software and this setting can then be saved
to the amp. When running in parallel, Architect also provides control over the FX
Loop Return Level.
TIP: The typical use of a parallel effects loop is to run the looped effects on full
'wet'. This eliminates the dry signal from the effects loop and offers more control
over the wet/dry mix.
NOTE: If the FX Loop is set to parallel, running effects in the loop that contain a
dry signal will result in a level boost when mixed back with the dry pass-through at
the FX Loop Return.
23. FX Loop Level Switch
The Level switch sets the Effects Loop to either +4dBu or -10dBV, which allows
the level to be optimal for use with either professional audio equipment (+4dBu) or
with guitar level effects such as effects pedals (-10dBV).
TIP: If you are unsure which setting to use, start with -10dBV.
24. Out
Connect your AMPED to the input of another amplifier using the Out. The signal for
this output is taken after the Presence (16) and Master (18) controls, but the power
valve Response (17) is not applied to the tone.
25. Speaker Outputs
Connect a suitable guitar speaker cabinet to the matching impedance Speaker
Output:
The output marked '16 OHM' is for the connection of a single 16 Ohm extension
speaker cabinet.
The output marked '8 OHM' is for the connection of a single 8 Ohm extension
cabinet.
WARNING: Do not use both speaker outputs at the same time, doing so will
damage your amplifier. Connect the speaker cable to your cabinet first, then your
AMPED pedal.
NOTE: If the speaker lead is disconnected at the amplifier end, then your AMPED
pedal will automatically switch to a safe, low power consumption mode. Therefore,
for example, if you wish to record using the output from either the XLR, stereo jack,
or USB, then you can set it on your desk without any need to be connected to a
speaker load.
